glass sliding door disposal
Just replaced a 30 year old single pane sliding glass door and now
need to get rid of the old one. After a few calls, the recommendations are to just break it since I dont have a truck and it probably wouldnt survive the trip to the dump. The window has tint film on one side. My plan is to sandwich it between plastic sheets and hit it wit a hammer unless there is a better solution. So..... 1) Is this window definately made with saftely glass? I dont see any stamps but I think this was required after 1977 2) should the tint be removed or is this a plus? My main concern is that it will not shatter completely if the tint supports the glass. However if it does shatter then the film would contain and perhps make the clean up easier? 3) Should I attempt to remove the frame or is this a bad idea? Thanks Rick |

Thanks Rick How about wrapping it in a plastic tarp, and then smashing it? Lay the tarp flat, put the door in the middle and fold the ends over. Once it's smashed you could open the tarp, cut up the frame with a reciprocating saw for ease of transport and then wrap the glass in the tarp. If the glass is too heavy to move at one time, it would still be generally contained in one spot, so making smaller piles should be easy. |

I'd lay it down on the driveway with a tarp under it and the plastic film facing up. Swat it with a hammer and you'll know right away whether it's tempered or not. The plastic film is enough to keep the glass from flying all over whatever type of glass it is. If it's tempered some of the little glass pebbles will stick to the plastic and you can roll it up to get rid of it. Once the glass is out, cut up the frame into manageable pieces. Recycle what you can of the glass and frame. Another alternative would be to use the door and glass as the top of a cold frame in your garden. Slap on some hinges and you're done. You will have to remove the plastic, though, and that's not a big deal. R |

Any thoughts about the tint, should it stay or be removed first?????? Thanks |

Well, it would take you all of five minutes to put it on Craigslist and/or Freecycle. You'd know within a day or two if someone would be interested.

Thanks Rick The last time I disposed of glass, from old windows, I was able to dump them in the dumpster (for glass only) at the hardware store where I purchased new glass. When I replaced the glass, some panes were intentionally broken, rather than hazard cutting my arm off by trying to pry away old, hard glazing compound. I covered the pane with old shelf paper (can't remember the name of the stuff with adhesive on it?), gave it a smack, and it held together pretty well - tarp below to catch the pieces. One pane came out intact and leaned itself on the windowsill :o) For a large pane, I would be inclined to take it out of the frame, use glass cutter and try to cut into manageable pieces. Worst that might happen is it breaks further, but then it will probably hang together so's you can haul to recycling bin. |

Thanks Rick Having done this with 2 double pain units (that's 4 total double pain 3' x 6' pieces), I thought I'd give my experiences. If you have recycling, call them to see if it is recyclable. In my case, they didn't want it. The trash pickup people said to smash it and put it in a box for them to pick up. I first removed the aluminum frames. It took a few screws and some grunting to get it off. This left the double pain panels. I put a tarp on the ground, put the panel on the tarp and coved it with the extra tarp. It is a long narrow tarp. I hit it with a sledge hammer. It literally bounced. It took a lot more force to break than I would have thought. Once there was one crack, the whole thing crackled and popped until there were little bits of glass on the tarp. We shoveled them into a box. Of course, being double pain, there was a small aluminum channel connecting the two pain, which went into aluminum recycling as did the aforementioned frames around the glass and the stationary part of the frames. I cut them up into manageable lengths using a cutoff wheel in a circular saw. BTW, these units were made in 1971 and were definitely tempered. The film on your windows might make is more difficult to pick up as everything would be stuck together. Also, when I did this, there was nothing like Craig's List. I would definitely try that first. Someone always seems to want something for nothing. Before moving, I posted a bunch of stuff that had accumulated. I couldn't believe how quickly the stuff went. But that was in the suburban part of Chicago. I'm not sure the same could not be said for the area where I am now. |

On a construction project, we put all of the cut-offs (mostly pine) in a big pile on the road side of the gate. It disappeared as quickly as we dumped it. Mostly old men in Cadillacs looking for kindling wood. We also put all of our sheet goods (OSB and such) in a pile but no one wanted that. Letting people steal the pine had two benefits for us. It significantly cut down on the waste we sent to the dump and it also kept people from entering the site looking for it (and climbing through dumpsters). |

Good idea to put the possibly reusable stuff to the side. If someone gets hurt prowling through your dumpster, you're on the hook for maintaining an "attractive nusiance" (like an unfenced swimming pool). Also makes it easier for me to score goodies. |
